Butter chicken. It is more popular outside of India than it is in India. Chicken Makhani is one of my favorite Indian dishes. It is a full flavored dish that complements the Saute shallot and onion until soft and translucent.
A delicious chicken dish that can be made as hot or as mild as you wish - a perfect meal for curry lovers who want to keep it simple.
It requires the chicken to be marinated in advance, has more authentic Indian spices than I can probably pronounce.
Return chicken to pot and toss to coat.
